The Old Grill
With the new grill in place, it was time to discard the old grill. I put it at the curb with a sign reading, "FREE! WORKS GREAT!" at 4:30 PM. When Laura peered outside at 6:45 PM, ti was gone. Free items do not remain at curbside for long in this region, it would seem. I am pleased that someone will get some use from the old grill.
Hot Weather
Mr. Nitro's temperature sensor indicated that it was 82° this morning at 7:30 AM as I drove to my office. It is now 86° at 8:25 AM. Today will be a hot day. There is no doubt.
The Kind Lawyer
One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass." "Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said. "But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree." "Bring them along," the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us, also." The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!" "Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered. They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was. Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind." "Thank you for taking all of us with you." The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high!"
